What did you notice about the phases of the moon?
The phases of the moon change as the moon and the earth rotate around the sun. There are 8 different phases New moon, waxing crescent, First quarter, waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter and Waning Crescent.
Why do we see different parts of the moon each night?
You see different parts because of how the moon rotates around the earth and then the earth around the sun. You see it differently also because of how the moon is having a reflection from the suns rays.

There are many different phases, and different times when those phases show up. For example the full moon is totally white unlike a First quarter moon is a half white moon with the other side black. There are lots more that i listed in the question before.
What causes them??
The phases are caused when the earth and the sun are in different laces and times around the sun. It is caused by the suns rays and it is showed by the shadow that it makes.
